Re: [MBZ] OT - built a PC from scratch recently?

This is like the system I call "The Beast", a XW8400. Dual quad-core Xeon, 16 GB RAM, and the *case* my Lord that thing is massive. The only problem I've got with this system is the PCI-E is a 1.0 standard, and isn't fully "forward compatible" with the new standard. (That came out almost

Before you get fully to the new build point, take a air canister and a horse hair / toothbrush to the DIMM sockets, make sure there is no dust on the connectors? About once every six months to a year, I have to disassemble my systems and fully clean them. (My dogs bring in *a lot* of dirt, am

Another amusing anecdote that just came to memory, Microsoft *did* have a UNIX. Who remembers Xenix? Now that is a blast from the past, haven't thought about that in decades probably. An official license from AT of a System 7 implementation that Microsoft ported to *8086* Mmmm ... slow. EdB "Das

Red Hat 5, and thus CentOS 5 will very soon be end of life / no support. Might want to try that move to 7 again. However, let me ask, what problems were you having with 7 that caused you to pull it out? Also, while I am a very strong Red Hat advocate, I must admit that *desktop* use Ubuntu tends
